Four Fine Fall Phillies

I also implore you not to remove these leaves, because the only one they are offending is you. If you take them, and the plant still has a problem, you just moved the presentation of this deficiency to a new set of leaves. Instead of the drastic move of spreading lime all around and really messing up your soil balance, I would first try increasing the amount of calmag given by 50%. Bigger plants now have bigger needs. Try to address those needs first, before freaking out and doing something silly to the entire room.

I did just that with calmag. That's good troubleshooting Em one piece of the puzzle at a time. She's my biggest plant to date in this happy frog potting soil and has been challenging me. In stead of doing something silly to the whole tent I fed her including the extra camg and did the funky chicken as I exited.

Just keep your PH in range and they should recover.

I had to re cal my ph pen just to make sure. It was in. She's growing like crazy and it seems like I put a turbo on her since the "short and long chain humates" I gave her. The whole tent is acting like that. Pushing new growth like no tomorrow.

That’s probably why her nutrient demand increased!

I'm going with that for now. I looked carefully at the rest of them and she's the only one. I'll keep an eye out. She's holding way more water now too. Almost double, from 3/4 gal to a gal and a half.

She’s drinking that much now?

She’s drinking that much now?

Just under 1.5 gal every two days. With around 2 cups runoff

That is a very good sign of strong roots, developed in veg and now turned to flowering mode.
Give yourself and the other Otter a pat on the back!

Yes just keep her fed, sounds like she’s all revved up is all.

She is . She's getting nice big long very sativa fans on her.

part of it too is the amount of light that your leaves are now able to capture, in that silly sideways configuration. A vertical plant just can't see that much light. SCROG works. Feed hard now... she can take it. You have built up to this moment.

I will thanks. She looks light colored and I did give her an extra feed cycle last time. I think she liked it. Allright!

hi stone

did you flush before upping the cal-mag ?

just curious. been chasing cal-mag issues on one of my strains for an entire grow.

everything looks real good here.

Hey bluter, no I didn't flush. I'm using organic nutes and have overspill.

very nice. always impressed by organic soil grows. soil produces the best flavors / terpenes imo. like what you are doing here.

Highya StoneOtter,

Glad to see you have a handle on the calcium deficiency. I have some calcium carbonate laying around for that reason. Fast acting and doesn't take very much.
Now, I'm wondering how to add humic and fulvic acids to my soil. However, I grow in the ground, and I have that covered with compost and some biochar in the soil from a burning building on that spot 3 years ago.
You do have a support staff on hand to iron out any problems. We all learn something through these moments. I appreciate being able to learn and apply. Cheers

Good morning Bode, @Van Stank says he adds it to his. Maybe he'll let us know what he uses. Reading the other day a little on it and I found the humic and fulvic acids differ depending on the source. I swear I noticed remarkable growth since I added it.
Haha my support staff. Everyone on 420mag.com look in the mirror. That's my staff. Such fine folk, and good looking too! I'm a lucky man. Enjoy spring conditions today.

The one thing I noticed about humic and fulvic acid is if I’m feeding heavy and add the acids uptake increases to the point I’ll burn the plants up. I have to lower me EC before I add Humic and fulvic acids.

Thanks I didn't know that.
